Rachel Maddow, who is only 48-years-old despite referring to herself as an “oldster,” tweeted out this bizarre rant against Google for daring to fund its search business with ads:
Oldster here. As dependent on Google as anyone.
But! this belligerent new thing where search results jump down the page to make room for un-labeled ads, and then when you click a result, google instead opens a new tab with an ad you weren't trying to click…
Grrr. I'll switch.

You know, kind of like how SHE makes HER living:
woman who makes a living selling ads rages at a company for … selling ads https://t.co/7YRyNPauaq

Should we switch from watching MSNBC? Not that we’re actually watching MSNBC:
Isn't your own income…from selling ads on your show? https://t.co/pCvaK4DjfQ

And of all the things about Big Tech to rage about, this is what she picks?
Definitely spoiled. I have this device in my hand with access to all the written knowledge of all history, but it’s awful because I have to scroll down on my screen twice. The horror 😆 https://t.co/pG6b0ziYHE
